Frequently Asked Questions
What is Quick Lift, and what services do you offer?
Quick Lift specializes in professional, affordable single-item moves. We offer fast, safe, and reliable service for things like furniture, appliances, or even specialty items you need moved without the hassle of a full truck.
How is Quick Lift different from traditional movers?
Unlike big moving companies, we don't have hidden fees, bloated quotes, or high minimums. We offer job-based pricing for just what you need to move, making professional help for single items truly affordable and hassle-free.
What geographic areas does Quick Lift serve?
Quick Lift proudly serves the entire DMV area. That includes all of Washington D.C., Northern Virginia (like Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun), and key counties in Maryland (such as Montgomery, Prince George's, Anne Arundel, and Frederick).
What exactly counts as a "single item move"?
A single item move means you don't need a whole moving truck. It could be one large piece of furniture, an appliance, a few boxes, or a specialty item. We focus on specific jobs, not truck size.
Is my item too small (or too big) for your service?
f you can't easily move it yourself, it's perfect for us. We handle everything from a single dresser or desk to large, heavy items like hot tubs, pianos, or gun safes.
Do you have a minimum charge?
No, we don't have minimums or house-sized quotes like traditional movers. Our pricing is job-based, so you only pay for what your specific move requires.
Can you move just furniture or large appliances?
Yes, absolutely. Sofas, fridges, washers, dryers, desks, dressers – if it's too big for your car and too small for a full moving company, we're your solution.
Do you move specialty items like pianos, hot tubs, or pool tables?
Yes, we specialize in these! Our team has the specific training and equipment to safely move your cherished piano, heavy hot tub, or delicate pool table.
Can you move items within my home or office (intra-building moves)?
Definitely. Whether it's moving a heavy safe upstairs, shifting a desk to another office, or rearranging furniture for a renovation, we handle intra-building moves with care.
Do you handle very heavy items like gun safes or statues?
es, handling extremely heavy and sensitive items is one of our specialties. We have the proper tools and skilled team for safe, secure transport of gun safes, statues, and other large, dense objects.
How much does a single-item move typically cost?
Costs vary based on the item's size, weight, distance, and any unique access needs. We provide a custom, job-based quote so you know the exact price upfront.
Are there any hidden fees or extra charges?
Absolutely not. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing. The quote you receive is the price you pay, with no surprises, fuel surcharges, or unexpected fees.
How do I get a quote?
Getting a quote is easy! Simply contact us through our website, phone, or email with details about your item and move. We'll provide a fast, personalized estimate.
What payment methods do you accept?
We make payment easy. We accept major credit cards and other common payment methods for your convenience. Full payment details are provided with your upfront quote.
How far in advance should I book my single-item move?
We recommend booking as soon as you know your move date to ensure availability, especially for weekends. However, we often accommodate urgent or last-minute moves too.
Do I need to pack or prepare my item before you arrive?
Please ensure the path to your item is clear. While we handle the heavy lifting, loading, and protection, any personal packing of smaller items inside a larger piece is your responsibility.
What if my item gets damaged during the move?
We treat every item with utmost care and professionalism. Our team is trained in safe handling techniques, and we use proper protective gear. In the unlikely event of damage, we'll work with you to find a fair solution.
What if my building has special moving rules or requires an elevator reservation?
We're familiar with navigating building requirements in the DMV. Please inform us of any specific rules, elevator reservations, or loading dock needs when you book, and we'll coordinate accordingly.
Do you offer weekend or after-hours moving options?
We understand schedules can be tight. Please contact us to discuss weekend or after-hours availability; we do our best to accommodate your needs.
Can you help with disposing of an old item or taking it to a donation center?
While our primary service is moving, we can sometimes assist with transporting items to local donation centers or approved disposal sites as part of your move, depending on specifics. Please inquire when booking.
